I am certain that everyone listening to this podcast about food and heritage associates the holidays with two things: one - family time and two - treats. This is an episode about both!
Today, I’m welcoming three sisters - Aimee, Theresa, and Amanda and their mother, whose name is also Theresa, to talk about their holiday chocolate-making EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!! And when I say “extravaganza”, I am not kidding in the least. Every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, these 3 high achieving women produce over 3000 perfect chocolate bonbons of DOZENS of varieties for family, friends, and charities.
They discuss the evolution of their tradition, the sourcing of ingredients and techniques necessary to produce the perfect chocolates and - lucky for all of us - they share the recipe that started it all, still their most discussed candy of all, the perfect English Toffee Recipe.
I’m so grateful to welcome Aimee, Theresa, Amanda, and their mother, Theresa to the podcast - and thank YOU all for being here.
